Fun FT fact: a year in earthland is 4 days in the celestial world
Sorry for the delay but in exchange this chapter is around 7 times longer than the typical chapter. You have every right to hate me after reading this chapter. I loved writing it though I had one of those moments where you almost cry at your own work, but in my defense I have been a bit emotional lately. Should I get worried? I Don't get that nauseous anymore, but well I haven't been my usual self lately. I don't want to go to the doctor, but I feel so bad at times!
Well back to the point today we have more of unprofessional Wendy, the first Jr POV, and the conclusion to Crash part1
*Joseph*
"Again where are the woman and the child?" My patience running out seriously how incompetent can someone be?
"I don't know Master we have searched though the whole castle we can't find them."
"I only used a simple transportation spell they couldn't have fallen far from where I transported us!" She didn't seem shaken by fear she was putting no emotion to her actions even though her beaten form you could find no fear, and no weakness.
"Well if you can't see anything anymore then there is no need to keep you alive. Kill her!" I ordered the nearest subordinate, who quickly took Myra out of existence. I listen as Kristy wives out a cheer of happiness she had long awaited Myra's demise.
"Good we will have to search the castle ourselves now!" Her wide grin turning into a frown
"You were just cheerful a few second ago what's up with that face?"
"Now we have to do all the work, I don't like doing work I takes away my time, my energy, my happiness, and well everything!" She said looking majorly annoyed.
"Well maybe if you would stop whining about the service then you wouldn't have to do the work!"
"Well if you didn't kill every employee we have we could have better service!"
"Well I only kill them because you wanted me to, then you come at me all pissed off because I did what you asked me to do!"
"You don't do anything right! Can't you just do one thing right for once in your life, and not stain my carpet with blood?!" I looked down at the floor there was that stupid blue carpet, with another blood stain!
"If you really love that carpet so much maybe you should marry it instead!"
"Well at least the carpet does what it is there for unlike someone!"
"I hope you two have a nice honeymoon it was not like I was taking you to a beachside resort for it!"
"Wait you were what?"
"Nothing!" Idiot! I look away from her, as I feel the heat on my face!
"You were actually planning on taking me to a nice place! Aw now I feel bad for being so mean to you!"
"I said I was not planning on it" I could feel her getting closer to me hugging me from behind!
"Sorry I was a little mad back then OK." She looks at me with a kind look I hadn't seen in ages. "You know I always kept it." She said showing me the ring I had given her so many years ago where could she have hidden it so that I didn't notice.
"That was a long time ago…"
"But not long enough…" She said as I remembered that moment fully understanding what she was talking about. I took her to my room we could search for the girl in the morning.
*Wendy*
I walked towards the infirmary. A few feet away Natsu was carrying Jr in his arms as the boy had small tears on his eyes. What is going on is he hurt? Jr looked as if he was struggling not to let the tars out as Natsu only spoke to him on the ear Jr seemed to relax a little. Should I go? I am was going to check on Nashi's temperature, but then I can't see Jr crying he is just too bright, and too sweat for that. His own existence irradiated kindness, naivety, and his innocent eyes could never show any traces of evil. At times I could see a glimpse of anger in them but it would disappear when he smiled once more he is just that kind of person.
I walk up to Natsu and Jr "What's going on Jr is something wrong?" I ask as I try to place my hand on his cheek he cowers into Natsu. Then he looks back at me tackling me own with a hug. He holds on tightly as he gently sobs into my stomach.
"They hurt her!" He says between sobs his voice buffered by the way he was holding on to me but I could hear him clearly. I just stayed there playing with his hair as he cried himself to sleep.
"Natsu you should take him home I have to go check on Nashi." He hesitated but then took the boy into his arms.
"Ok but I'll come back quick-"
"No Natsu you are staying with Jr!"
"But!"
"Would you like to wake up one day and notice that you are all alone?!" He looked hurt we both knew that feeling from when we were young.
"Tell her we'll be back in the morning!" He warned me.
"Don't worry they'll be fine it is only one night."
"Ok we'll be back in the morning!"
"I know"
"Aye just making sure" he still didn't move.
"Your house is that way" I pointed out the door. He only stared at me in disbelief what is his problem I only told him to go home!
"Ok Ok I'll be leaving now" He started walking really slowly to the door so slow it wouldn't have been a difference if he weren't walking at all.
"Natsu go home!" I pouted angrily and h practically flew out the guild's door with Jr in his arms. Why does he have to be annoying at times? Romeo walks towards me, he looks a bit upset why is he wearing such a fancy suit?
"Hey Wendy do you remember what day it is?" he only asks me now he looks a bit mad. I did something wrong didn't I ok remember Wendy what is it? Yesterday it was his birthday since I was with Nashi, and Lucy we only had time for a private celebration at home. Ok I know something important happens a day after his birthday it is? I remember how could I have forgotten it I our- "You forgot our anniversary!" Gods how could I forget something like this
"I am such a horrible person!" I feel the tears on my eyes why am I crying? He brings me closer to him placing his hand on my waist.
"No you aren't, but if you still feel bad I always know how you could compensate it" He pulls me even closer to him placing his hands on my behind.
"And what would that be?" I ask faking innocence while smirking as he kisses my lips.
"How about we repeat that of last night?" He whispers into my lips knowing I can hear him perfectly well.
"I find no problem in that" he kisses me again, and we run home somehow I feel like I am forgetting something.
*Lucy*
I walk down the somehow familiar halls. I know this place or at least I think I do. I don't know where I am going, but I need to go somewhere I know that. I keep walking down the halls strange as soon as we entered the castle Nashi stopped crying, her onyx eyes wide open only looking at me though they would drift off at times, as if pursuing something on the ceiling. I looked up to where she was looking but there is nothing there. Maybe I am imagining things?
I get to the darkest part of the castle and follow the large stairs they were practically the size on a ballroom in width, and the stairs themselves were large as if they were made for something slightly larger than a human. I continued walking up the stairs feeling as if someone was watching me. I looked behind me to see the spectral image of a dragon; her white scales seemed to be glowing, when I noticed that the stairs were perfect for her size. I only look at the dragon in front of me completely paralyzed. I couldn't take a step back, or a step forward.
"Igneel…" She whispers the name not intending me to hear it yet I can.
"You know Igneel?!" I ask her remembering Natsu's father. "Natsu…" I wonder how he will react when he notices w are not there I hold my daughter close to my face, kissing her cheeks.
"Natsu…!" She repeats the name I had called and walks towards us looking at Nashi with her onyx eyes and smiles. Her hand humanizing as she touches Nashi's face gently. I can see her human face as a small bell is heard though the stairs. I see her changing back into a dragon, and running down the stairs producing a crashing sound with her tail, her laughter echoing though the halls.
*Natsu*
Mornings are cold without Lucy; I had learned that since the day I meet her. Since that day I had noticed that it was almost impossible to sleep without her smell surrounding me, and that if she had to kick my ass every morning so that I could wake up by her side, it was worth it. Now only the fact that the bed was impregnated with her smell let me have a 'peaceful' night thought it didn't help with the nightmares. I had woken up 4 times before that night, and felt like I hadn't slept at all. I could feel the sting in my eyes that were red and dry from lack of sleep and tears. The pain had felt so real and then the shock from waking up without Lucy, and Nashi by my side only made thing worse. That last time I just couldn't let myself sleep again. I got home and fell asleep, I have been awake since 3 in the morning then I accidently fell asleep again this time till 5 not letting myself fall asleep again. I want to go I have to check on Lucy, I need to feel her there, and I need to see her to prove to myself she is alive.
It is 6 already a decent time to wake up the kid! I walk into his bedroom looking at his sleeping form to notice he was sobbing in his sleep. Looks like I wasn't the only one with nightmares.
"Jr, hey kid wake up." He only stirs a little, and continues crying as he wakes up. "Come on lets clean the tears, and got to the guild." He looks at me tears still falling from his eyes but he starts nodding. I watch as he tries to stop shredding more tears cleaning the ones in his cheeks. I take a hold of the kid as we walk toward the guild both with pain in the chest made evident by the expressions in our faces.
We entered the guild but I could tell something was wrong the moment we entered the guild. I couldn't smell them. Their scent was the first thing I noticed the moment I crossed the door. That would be what would help me know if she was in the guild whenever I entered the guild without her by my side. Today it was almost nonexistent, like a faint trail. I walked across the guild dread written in my face yet no one seemed to notice my presence. I stood in front of the infirmary door not wanting to open it. I already know what is behind that door, yet they have to be there! I will open this door, and I will see them sleeping, and I will laugh at it later.
I opened the door carefully without looking inside, and when I did I saw my biggest fear the infirmary was empty. This didn't mean anything yet the loneliness, the desperation, and the hollow feeling from the nightmares came back all in once. I couldn't stop as the door closed I fell to the ground unable to do anything else. Resting my head on the flood tears on my eyes,
"It was only a dream no more only a dream they are fine!" Without their presence here I just can't convince myself from this. I stayed there with the horrible pain in my chest until I was able to move again. It took long for I had fallen into a dreamless sleep right there in the floor.
I woke up to see that no one had noticed me in here. I felt a little more composed yet I still felt that horrible hole inside. I could sense a trail, and followed it only to be sent to the center of the room. I know this scent it is not Lucy's or Nashi's but I know it!
"Acnologia!" It was very similar to that of the dragon, yet not the same. I ran out the door following an invisible trail he had transported them out of the room, but the first time Rosy came here she had a small trace of this smell. Where ever she came from is where Lucy is right now. I pulled Jr with me!
"Where are we going?!" He asked tears still shown in his small eyes.
"We are saving Lucy and your parent's!" He smiled as I dragged him out to a probably dangerous place. It reminded me of the time I meet Lucy. She destroyed the dock, and I destroyed 7 houses, when I dragged her away from the royal knights she was smiling.
*Lucy*
I would have spent the whole night walking through the halls of the draconic castle if I wouldn't have found bed room. It was completely human sized, everything was covered I dust making Nashi sneeze fire. It was one of those cute baby sneeze that ignite the whole room in fire that extinguish a few seconds later. All the dust had been burned off only leaving ash in the floor, and completely unharmed furniture. Why would a dragon's fortress have a room for humans? The sheets were worthy of a princess, I opened the closet to see it was filled with fancy ball gowns. They were all of different sizes or more like different age times. I could tell they were all handmade probably all for the same person. They were all of varied sizes I could tell some could have fit Nashi in a few months, not like would ever dress my daughter in one of those I had suffered enough with those things to submit my daughter to the same thing. She is crying moving her head towards my chest looking to be feed. I still had the same clothes from the infirmary, I should change later.
She latches on and drank as if she had never been feed before, I'm sorry baby. You must be really hungry sweetie. I am such a horrible person.
She falls asleep, and I lay her in bed next to me falling asleep with her knowing that probably in a few hours she will wake up again. I as soon as I close my eyes I fall into slumber.
I wake up to the smell coming from Nashi's dipper, s*** I left the dippers back at Fairy Tail!
I think this is a cloth dipper I had never seen one before so I am not sure what it is, but if it isn't it has just become that. I had to use whatever I found to clean my baby I don't know just how clean this is but I have nothing else at the time being. I think it would be a good time to find something different to dress. The thin clothes Wendy provided me in the infirmary did little for the cold, and I was uncomfortable with the fact I had nothing underneath.
I open the closet looking at the ancient looking dresses it seemed like no one had touched them in centuries, yet they were in perfect condition. I can't help but notice the fact that the clothes here are by far fancier than anything my father had ever bought me. Being one of the richest men in Fiore, he always showed it off getting the best clothes in the country to be handmade for us. The dresses in fro not me where not made by anyone from Fiore, or the Celestial Realm. It is even better that Virgo's work. I took one of the dresses it looks like it will fit me. It is beautifully made soft as silk, and without the delicacy of the material. The blue material was designed to be fancy, and easy to remove. It would be better to have a blouse, and skirt so I could breast feed Nashi but it is not like I have that option.
I will it even fit me? I had gained so much weight the past few months; to wear this dress I need to wear a corset. I will need help for that. I look at the corset, and placed it next to the dress. Gods how to do this!
*Natsu*
"This is it how do we get in!" Jr only looks at me thinking carefully.
"I think we should go though the north gate no one goes though there, they are all scared!"
"Why?"
"They say that is where the dragon lives, but she is nice don't worry!" A dragon in this castle Igneel-Lucy-Igneel-Lucy-Lucy. I have to find Lucy first, Igneel can wait!
"Lets go!" He takes me to a small gate perfectly hidden from view, I wouldn't have noticed it if he hadn't gone though it still seemed as if the boy had suddenly disappeared into the stone wall surrounding to castle.
"Hey this way!" I can see his head again only so that it disappears again. I try to touch the spot on the wall from where he disappeared, only to go right through the wall falling on my face. "If we go through that door we will be in the northern portion of the castle, I have been there a few times; I think I know the way around!" He drags me towards the heavy door struggling to open it. Finally the door gives in with a loud noise. The hall smelled like dust which was covering every single corner of it, drowning any traces of smell that the room could have kept.
"ACHOO" I sneeze causing all the hall catch on fire for a few seconds. If the dust hadn't covered all of the smells the fire just did. The only thing my nose caught was the smell of dust and ashes which were covering the floor.
"eek it hurts!" I look over at Jr that only has a small burn in the hand. Then he looks over at me, "Don't worry it is not that bad, I'm ok, I'm ok" he repeats to himself.
"Sorry!" He only continues walking. I follow closely behind him, as we walk the huge halls. I have never been a building as large as this one the halls could probably fit a dragon in here. We walk down stares as it only gets darker.
"I think they put them where grandma was. I can smell them close!" It is true I could finally smell people close; Lucy was not with them I can't smell them. There is one thing I can smell and it is blood. I can smell lots of blood. When I noticed we are in the castle's jail, but there is no jailer all the doors are closed, but no one was guarding the keys as they only dangle loosely from a nail on the wall. They're cold haven't been used in some time. I try the keys on the first door maybe they are in here and my nose is playing tricks with me. First door empty, second door empty… fifth door empty… tenth door empty…. Last door, there are a man and a woman in the last door making out! I hear them gasp when I opened the door. I recognize her as the woman who was being beaten up in the lacrima screen.
"Mommy, dad!" Jr screams plunging into their arms Lucy is not here.
"Jr you should not have come here!" tells his mother. "You're all right, you're fine" She says tears running down their faces. As much as I didn't want to interrupt I have to find Lucy.
"Jr think you can make it out!" He nods "Good I have to go search for Lucy, and Nashi!" I rush out up the stairs I can catch a faint smell of burn out there, and I am sure that was not because of me.
*Joseph*
"We have searched everywhere! Where could they be?" she says with a bored expresion on her face. She is just staring at the ceiling with her hands behind her head, as she lays defeated on the ground.
"We haven't searched the northern halls Kristy, if you could stop whining and come with me we could find them."
"I am not going to run around the castle again for what we know she could be following us to make us seem like fools searching for her when she is right behind us!"
"Seems like a hard thing to do with a newborn child."
"Who knows she is a mage!"
"Even mages have limits, having magic doesn't make them less human…" She looked at me quietly opening her eyes wide as if searching for something I don't know what.
"Hai, what would I know about humans, but I can guess that girl is not entirely human if she gave birth a dragon child."
"What do you mean?"
"If she was with a dragon's child, how could she and her child ever be called human? If anything she could be a Halfling of another creature."
"So she is not human as well?"
"Did you not notice it is the same with all of the dragon-slayers I think none can even mate a human without killing them. Even without knowing that she just has too much magic for a human girl I think that guild is a place where creatures of all kinds meet, for reproductive purposes!"
"You say it in such a crude way"
"Well think about it they all come from different places not just Fiore, but other countries which have other magical creatures. They go the guild find someone have a child, and make an alliance between species. I refuse to believe a human can be that strong!"
"Even humans can have some magic Kristy I don't see what the problem with that is."
"Brother would always say that humans can't have magic if someone develops magic then they can't be human!"
"Magic is something you learn Kristy!"
"I don't know! There are so many things I still don't understand! Magic is something that is born within one's self! It is not something that can be though it is like the beating of the heart it is what keeps you alive!"
"Magic is the strength that keeps a human heart beating mages just learn how to work with it. Anyone can learn that it only takes time, lots of training, and a strong will to keep going."
"So are we going to search the north halls human?" I couldn't help but laugh at that.
"Lets go we the sooner we get over with this the better!"
"Do you think she is human?"
"Do you think I am human?" She only smiles to that running ahead of me. We finally got to the Northern halls to find them cleaner than they were before impregnated with a heavy smell of burnt. The ashes in the floor showed footsteps. There are 3 sets of footprints, Two were together one was large while the other very small in comparison, a man, and a child walking both the same way! The last set of footsteps was small only showing a dot for the heel and a triangular print for the rest she was wearing high heels. Those would be the shoes that only a woman would wear; it was obvious who to follow. "This way." I point out the tracks and we set of whom to follow.
*Jr*
"This way we have to get out before they catch us!" They hold my hands tightly as I pull them though the hall into the northern halls "we can get out though there me, and rosy would always do it."
"Rosy and I dear!"
"Same difference." I keep dragging them to the halls when I the Master, and a lady. She is really pretty with long hair into a braid, and a sparkly dress. I can see her undis should I tell her, I don't what to get in trouble. It is cold in hear she could get sick, mommy says I could get sick without a sweater and she is not wearing a sweater. I think that dress is too small for her it looks like it was for a little girl.
"Why are you looking" Mom scolds dad fro where we are hiding.
"I was not looking I swear I was only checking I they would… find us any time soon!"
"You hesitated, and I don't see you could get that information from her under her dress!"
"I was not looking under her dress! I am not that kind of perv!"
"And you don't even deny that you're a perv!
"What is a perv?" They only stare at me mom get red.
"I am not going to explain that not today!" Then she turns to dad and tells him something but I can't hear what, he looks scared. Mommy can be scary at times. I look back at where the pretty lady was but she was leaving the opposite way from the exit.
"She left!" I tell them dad takes me in his arms we wait a few minutes not making a sound
"Where is the exit Jr?" he asks I point the way and we run. I hear a loud scream from where the lady left. I know that voice, I try to wiggle out of dad's arms but I he holds me too tight.
"MissLucy!" I shout her name I know she was the one that screamed. "We have to help Miss Lucy she has a baby with her! Dad we have to help them!" He doesn't stop "MISS LUCY!" I shout out a bit louder.
"LUCY!" I hear Natsu shout for Lucy but I can't hear her anymore. My parents stopped running, the only thing I can hear is Nashi crying. She never cried like that it sounded as if she were hurt, it sounded like such a painful crying!
"Nashi…" I whispered the name I finally look forward to see why dad stopped running. In front of us there is a large white dragon that had helped us many times before.
"arayurudara lara!" help her She said she sounded to sad, and hurting.
"Papa we have to help Miss Lucy, and Nashi!" he sets me to the ground making an ice lance
"So now I have to help the stupid dragon save her stupid family. You two better get out of here-"
"No!" me, and mom spoke at the same time. Then she continued "We won't get out of here without you! Accept the fact that you need us here to heal your injuries. Maybe I can't cure stupidity, but I can make sure you don't die from it!"
"Uhh Mom said a bad word!"
"You two better keep out of the fight you hide, and let daddy do the dirty job!" He looks at me pointing to his chest. "Lets go then!"
*Natsu*
When I ran inside the room I didn't know what to expect I only know that I was going to kill whoever is causing Nashi to cry like that. No one touches my baby girl! I knew that my sanity was dangling on a tightrope. I open the door to see what would be the setting for my nightmares for months after this. I could see blood on the floor, the walls, and the furniture. It looked as if the whole room was only blood there was this dark haired woman holding Nashi who was crying in hysterics. The woman was only laughing carelessly like it was the most normal thing in the world. There was a man behind her O couldn't see his face none of them had noticed me there. He touches something on the ground,
"Dead" he pronounces the word when I see her golden hair blood stained. The blood in the room was none other than hers. She was covered in her own blood unconscious then the word comes back to my head 'dead'
"To bad she shouldn't have fought like that." Her skin pale and blood stained, soulless brown eyes looked into my own, blank, lifeless, only working as mirrors for they were lacking a soul to keep. I was looking into Lucy's dead eyes. They just stared back cursing me for not getting here in time, there was nothing else they could do. I got here ten seconds too late I lost it all because of that. I don't know where I am, where I come from, who I was, who I am. I can't see anything anymore, I can hear Nashi crying in the distance, she was hurting, but I can't move. I can't move, I want to keep her safe, but I can't feel my own body anymore, I don't feel my magic energy at all. At last all the sounds are drowned out, I can't see a path, my body has lost all function, so this is what dying feels like.
*Lucy*
I hear footsteps outside the room I place Nashi on the bed, as I stand up near the door in ready for battle. I take a makeshift whip to defend ourselves. I could feel the terrifying magic presence out that door. There is absolutely no way I can make it out of this without my keys, but I am going to protect my daughter till the end! The doors burst open a man and a woman enters the room.
"Kristy take the kid we have work to do." I lash at the woman as she tries to get near Nashi. She holds her cheek where there is a bit of blood. She touches the blood and the injury disappears. Oh f***
"Can you help me with the pest here!?" Then I feel the impact of the magic on my shoulder blood falling everywhere. I lash out at both of them only so that they easily dodge it. Another hit this time to my ribcage like a spear coming out my back. It becomes harder to move I hear Nashi cry out to see my baby in that woman's hands. No, no one can take my baby she is mine!
"Nashi!" I scream in pain as another spear hits I feel my left arm detach only a bit of skin connecting it to the rest of my body, the bone completely broken. I race my whip using my remaining strength to send another attack that is simply dogged by the man. The last thing I feel is the impact of magic in my head. I Natsu in the background, but I don't see my whole life flash though my eyes I only see his onyx eyes as I fade into the realm of the dead once more.
"I didn't want to see you for a few years at least!" The same black eyed girl from last time, again I am in this place this thing I can hear my baby crying tormenting me once again. "People like you give me trouble try to not die all the time!"
"So I did die that time?"
"Not exactly," Not exactly, but last time I was here I was on verge of dying. That's it!
"This is not the realm of the dead is it?"
"What do you mean?" She says faking ignorance but she is a bad liar.
"It means I am still not dead I can go back!"
"No you are really dead look around you this is where the souls go when they detach from the body I am here to guide you to the afterlife!"
"But I can make it out I still haven't reached the afterlife!"
"No you can't go back you already died it is over!"
"Last time I made it out this time I can do it again."
"No it is impossible, you got lucky the first time it was death by Ries-nii with him it is up to his choice if he wanted to you would reach the afterlife and still make it out."
"Ries-nii?"
"He is a little bit crazy he says he has found the love of his life, and left to the human world to find her!"
"I think I know him…Can I at least know if they are safe I want to see my family, just one last time before I go with you!" She looked at me then opened a small screen where I could see my body on the floor I could see Natsu fall to the floor. She pointed to him
"He is dying…Strange I never saw him get hit." She whispered the last part.
"NATSU! You can't die idiot we can't leave Nashi alone! Not with these people, not like this… I don't want to make an orphan of my child…"
"He is still dying… doragon." Doragon what is that? Doragon? Dragon!
"What did you say?"
"Dragon he acts like a dragon…"
"He is the son of a dragon…"
"Wait you married a dragon!"
"We never got married, but he is the foster son of a dragon. He was adopted by Igneel when he was a baby he is a dragon-slayer."
"I don't get lots of those here, dragons are stubborn and refuse to leave earth some stay over as ghost haunting castles others become eternal flames that are praised as god for centuries. It is hard to know how many have died it total they are all too hard to convince. If it makes you feel better I have heard of no dragon by the name of Igneel get here, but he could be dead just-"
"Too stubborn to come here?"
"Yes, I have never escorted a dragon-slayer like him."
"What do you mean?"
"I don't know I have seen dragons die like this but never a dragon-slayer not the weakest, or the strongest. He just seems different than others, I can sense a stronger draconic presentation, but I don't know. You said he was Igneel's child he might survive this after all, maybe not in time but he can live though it."
"What-"
"Don't ask I'll just tell you all ready. Dragon's can't live without a mate. Before the dragon civil war no one really cared about anything, and mates were not needed. They were all killing each other without restriction because no one knew of loyalty. To prevent the war from extinguishing the race two dragons swore loyalty to one another making a bow to keep loyal till the end of their days and after. The only thing was that they were too strong and when they won the war they made this bond a law for all the other dragons. One needed a mate to survive, but on the loss of your mate you would lose yourself too. Only a few dragons have survived this and Igneel was one of them. This is not a trait that comes with dragon-slayer magic though."
"Then why would Natsu?"
"Mating is not something that can be taught, it is instinct one of the things engraved in one's blood. The bond can only be transferred by one's biological parents. A dragon with parents unbounded doesn't need to bond with anyone. Though if a dragon is hatched with bonded parents he will search for a bond, and will bond in the first mating for sure."
"But Natsu is human, not a dragon!"
"A bit strange around 400 years ago Acnologia took over the dragon throne by killing Igneel's mate strange thing a bonded dragon can't survive that without a reason."
"What are you suggesting?"
"The only dragons known to have survived that all had only one thing in common, they all had hatchlings to protect. The thing is that Igneel's son had been killed with a shot thought the neck." She gestured the side of the neck it reminded me of Natsu's scar. It was right on the neck just where she had indicated it was only a fingernail away from being a mortal wound. "You know the funniest thing there was nothing to tell the kid actually died that day. There was no prove of his death, as well as there was no prove of him being alive. After that Igneel looked surprisingly composed, though very secretive. He wanted no one to come near his territory, traveling all the time frequenting places with human populations nearby. The strangest thing is that only around 400 years after his child's passing he takes care of a human boy, and names him the same way his child had been called. Now that I see this child he doesn't even feel human at all!"
"400 years is a long time…"
"Not for a dragon it might be the same as for a celestial being, I am sure you know those well"
"Is is so noticeable"
"It is practically shining off of you. That spiritual presence is not that of a human as well, but you haven't spent 400 years in earth."
"You can tell how long a person has lived?"
"It is the basic stuff, strong like his father he is waking up." I can see as Natsu starts to get up the whole room burns. My body is no longer there someone had moved it away. Natsu is in full dragon force anger irradiating off his skin.
*Adeline*
"Come on Jr keep it up we can still help her!"
"Mom I am running out of magic!"
"We have to work honey or she will die for real, she had already lost to much blood, and the hit in the head caused the loss of consciousness, but she can still be healed Jr so clean those tears off your eyes and help me with the arm as I restart her heart." Gods if she had used magic she wouldn't have made it. I just have to work with her magic and it will start beating again. There I only need to fasten the reconstruction of her blood cells, there are no visible injuries, and if I did everything right then she will wake up in a few minutes. If something goes wrong she won't wake at all.
I look back at the metal door which was reddened because of the fire coming from the inside. Just what is going on in there? If we wouldn't have taken her out when we did then we would be trapped in there too. I look at the way she moves in her unconscious state. She will wake up soon everything will go all right only a few more minutes to rest. Her breathing steadies, her muscles relax, she starts again.
She sits up opening her eyes. She scans the room frantically
"Nashi, Natsu wait I'm alive?!" Jijiji
"They are still in there." Should I tell her? Might as well break the news right now. "The room set on fire we only managed to get you out." I look at her she only looks a bit anxious, them she smiles
"Only that room set on fire not the whole fortress, and surrounding areas?"
"No only that room" I repeated maybe she hadn't gotten the right idea, she did know they were still inside.
"I can't believe it only they only set one room on fire! They didn't burn the whole town, the only time I am not getting paid he decides to only burn the room he locked himself in. I swear he does it on purpose! Should I go inside know or wait?" She places her hands on the melting door, pulling them away immediately. "Ew ew it's sticky! Natsu let me in you melted the door!"
"Lucy…" He says his voice sounded a bit scratchy as if he had sore throat. "Lucy!"
"I'm alive you idiot how are you two in there?"
"Did you even feed her, she started devouring the flames once I set the room on fire!"
"I had just feed her she eats way too much I can't keep up with her."
"Lucy I melted the door, I don't know how to get out!"
"There has to be another way out Natsu!"
"I think someone needs a new dipper. Lucy get us out of here!"
"Ok I think that you could melt the door down you could get out." What the heck are these persons, no one could possibly melt down- That is when I see the young man come out of the room with the baby in arms the child only wearing a cloth dipper. I could hear her sounds of glee as she is taken into her mother's arms the whole family completely unharmed by the fire, or melted metal. Well the young woman's hands were a bit red now that I think about it but she should have second or third degree burns from the burning materials!
"Can I?" I motion for them to hand me the baby, but they just stare at me threateningly. It was that specific look that tells you to back off or be turned to ashes.
"I'm a medic I just want to check if everything is fine with her a way to thank you for taking care of my son." She hesitantly places the little girl in my arms as they move to block all possible escape routes. I watch as he lights his fingers on fire dangerously close to my skin as if warning me of what was going to happen if I ran. Just as fast as he had lit them the fire disappears from his hands making me think it was all just part of my imagination.
"She has temperature apart from that I don't find anything wrong." They only smile at that. I just told them their kid has temperature they should be worried.
"It is her normal temperature she has always been like that." Said the woman
"That is not good on babies"
"In our house it is completely normal, a trait she got from her papa right Nashi!" He says playfully taking the child from my arms.
"Everything is perfectly fine with you princess" says the mother "You really are a princess Nashi…" she repeats mostly to herself. "You grandma has been taking care of us hasn't she…" she whispers to herself being heard someone else that her family.
